I just enjoyed a homemade turkey sub (hoagie, same thing) from Capriotti's tonight. Best sub ever. I got it in southeast PA, not Philly, but still, the influence is good enough that the sandwich kicks...

What exactly makes a sandwich a Hoagie, anyway?

Mexico/S.Cal = Churos!

Churos are a mix of fried bread, and sugar wrapped all around it.

Churos, man theyre good.

Hoagies were the first ever large/long sandwiches, well at least the first to be marketed and commercialized. They were invented in the late 1800's on Hog Island, were originally called Hoggies, which eventually became Hoagie.

A traditional Italian Hoagie is on an Amoroso's roll (the roll is KEY), with Ham, Genoa Salami, Provolone Cheese and Hot Capicola with sweet peppers, onions tomatoes, shredded lettuce, olive oil and oregano. For those who like Subway (vomit), it resembles a BMT.

A Grinder, which is also a local fav to be ripped of by Quiznos, is basically any Hoagie that is thrown in the oven and roasted before eating. Italian Grinders are my favorite.

California is world renown for the Cheese Steak Sandwich. Don't fall for that gibberish about Philly being the inventors, it was all us and we continue to hold the title for best Cheese Steak Sandwich.

I think ZebraRampage, Strangler, and I will have to totally disagree with this notion, but everyone can believe what they will.

I would have to assume that you were on crack when you wrote this, so I'll forgive you and plead that you visit your local rehab center
